A lot of Mac systems come with built-in bluetooth standard or optional, and Apple's own wireless mice and keyboards use it. When I visit home, my sister bugs me to download her cellphone pictures using my Powerbook's bluetooth because she doesn't have a bluetooth card herself and (reasonably) doesn't want to pay for the transfer service. She asked for a bluetooth adapter for Christmas.
That's my experience, anyway.
Unfortunately there just isn't a good way to determine what classes are available. Reflection doesn't have a way to determine all available subclasses of a given class, which would be really useful.
It isn't about hacking. It's more of the Hack 'n Slash sort of thing. Goofy fantasy gaming.
And it doesn't have threedee graphics. In the 'purest' incarnation, it has no graphics whatsoever. Instead it uses an ASCII.
Ah, heck with it. Check the wikipedia entry.
Two types of links that work in different ways? I don't think anyone will stand for that. Do you suppose they'll call them 'hard links' and 'soft links'?
At UF the trick is "Free food! Just fill out this little application! Only takes a few minutes!". Citibank hasn't stopped sending me stuff since. Bleh.
The College of Engineering here at UF has a similar deal. We get a lot of different MS developer-type stuff (including WinXP Pro) for $0. We get them by download. Legally, even. And worth every penny. (Ok, maybe a tiny bit more)
C programs need pointer math. Among other things, it is how you access dynamically allocated memory chunks, which is done in most programs. It is also used heavily in operating system code. Pointer math is highly useful, but it can lead to all sorts of bad things if pointers point to the wrong places. You certainly don't want some Malicious Person to figure out how to reassign one of your pointers so that it points at some arbitrary place in memory, such as inside of the currently executing code.
Java programs do not have pointer math. You can't make this object reference point somewhere arbitrary. It can only point at objects of the correct type. Java programmers lose out on the ability to manipulate memory directly but gain improved safety and security.
I wouldn't want to write operating system code in a language that doesn't let me directly manipulate memory. I wouldn't want to write application code in a language that forces me to directly manipulate memory, and I certainly don't mind when the language takes that option away entirely to replace it with something safer. Then again, some high performance code (a game?) might need a high performance memory management algorithm, and that is typically a job for pointer math.
You can rip a DVD using Apple's Disk Utility program. What you get is disk image, suitable for burning if you have big enough blanks, or playing using DVD Player by mounting the image. Sure, it isn't a small file, but an 80 GB iPod could hold several. The problem is when you want to encode that into a different format.
Often the department will maintain a list of available projects. This can be a good place to look for ideas, if not actually pick one. Another thing you might do is pick a professor you like and ask them if they have any projects they would like you to work on. This is how I got the Senior Project that I just started working on. It also has the advantage of letting you get acquainted with someone important and showing them the quality of your work. This can get you a valuable reference, letter of recommendation, or an ally if you continue into grad school.
I think Aliases fill the role of easy symlinks, even if they aren't real symlinks. I can make an alias, move the original file, and the alias still works. And if you not only know what a symlink is but know of a reason you might want one, then ln is still your friend.
I'll confirm that it does in fact work on my mac. Just double click the jar file and go!
Wow, it even transmits custom figurines and underlays automagically.
MS-DOS programmers upset that QBASIC will no longer be supported under Longhorn, afraid of being stranded since they never learned any other languages. Rest of programmers glad to see them gone.
My PB was shipped on the 5th, well outside of the grace period.
Fortunately it (and all of my other macs) run splendidly and I have no complaints about them. But missing a speed/feature bump by 26 days makes me a little sad.
Out of curiosity, where can I find this? Was it added to a recent version of the definition? He seemed to be under the impression that this functionality had been added to gcc for programmer convenience and wasn't standard behavior. After all, compilers weren't always smart enough to not need function prototypes or explicit includes.
My OS prof was demonstrating the differences in what errors the C compiler and linker would pick up. However, we found that we could make two source files with no include lines in either that both defined a global variable (sans extern). The main function set the global variable and then called a function that is defined in the other source file, which would then print the gv. Then we compiled and linked them with gcc. No warnings, no errors. The program ran exactly the way we wanted it to, which was unexpected. So yes, you can do away with includes and header files without even performing the includes manually. Depending on the language, your compiler might be smart enough to figure it out.
But that doesn't make it a good idea. Besides, do you want to be the one who has to go update the library functions that would normally have been included any time you change the code in one file?
Assuming it isn't just atmospheric, it looks to me like the meteor is long (like a cylinder) and is rotating at an angle that isn't along one of its axes (which is normal, and causes seasons on earth).

Yes. We need more than 17.

Except that you can't do pointer math in Java. Java references are opaque and cannot be manipulated.

See the Tao of Programming. Specifically, book 6 (Management) and book 7 (Corporate Wisdom).
How about one of these?

Remove network card and modem.

In my day, we got Es, and we were happy with that!

I can explain why this speedbump occured when it did: I just bought one of the previous models this month. They're just doing it to spite me.

It is rotating along *an* axis, just not its major or minor axes. If that makes any sense.
Assuming it isn't just atmospheric, it looks to me like the meteor is long (like a cylinder) and is rotating at an angle that isn't along one of its axes (which is normal, and causes seasons on earth).
The part where it intersects with the exploding street lamp (or whatever it is) would seem a bit coincidental if it were just a film flaw
